Everyone has got an opinion and for me that first solo Robbie Robertson album is fantastic. Great songs, great performances and that Lanois sound. Highly recommended.
Dylan's Time Out of Mind remix is Stunning
"Time Out of Mind" was always a powerful record, despite the murky original mix.
Now, with most of the sonic muck that producer Daniel Lanois smeared onto the music scraped off and rinsed away, it's full glory is revealed. Abetted by terrific SQ, its impact is stunning.
The old mantra "original mixes are always better" is blown out of the water by this.
For my tastes, this is one of the best releases in the Bootleg Series-- a dream come true for Dylan lovers-- and one of the best Dylan releases since "Blood on the the Tracks".
Lyric fragments keep cycling in my head. . .
"People on the platforms
waiting for trains
I can hear their hearts a beatin'
like pendulums swingin' on chains"

I love the Daniel Lanois produced Robbie Robertson S/T album. And! I WAY prefer Lucinda Williams - "Sweet Old World" to her later version - "This Sweet Old World". Excitedly purchased "This Sweet Old World" on vinyl when it was first released. 2 passes through it, and back to the record store it went towards trade-in credit. |
I just put the new Time Out Of Mind in the Que. Looking forward to hearing it. Thanks @stuartk for the review. |
